I guess I really don't know much better, but this course is fine. Not worth $46 with cart on a holiday Friday with a forecast of rain, but generally okay. It's immediately adjacent and, in a spot or two, facing the runway of a municipal airport. The general area is south Sacramento, and borders a rough part of town. There's an exec course and a regulation course. I played the exec course once last year and got called away before I could finish, so I can't really say much about it at this time. I don't know much about the refund policy of most courses in the event of rain. These guys post prominently that with a wet forecast, you assume the risk, which is cool. My party of four did just that, and made it through okay. The course is in okay shape. Not great, not terrible. Being a novice golfer, I really can't say I know what to expect in terms of conditions for a NorCal course in November. But I've seen much better (Ancil Hoffman) and worse (Bartley Cavanaugh) public courses in the same price range. One good thing about Bing Maloney is that most of the fairways are wide and forgiving. Even so, I shanked more than my share off the tees and often wound up in the rough! I'm not sure what contributes to this, but the pace of play was quite brisk this particular day. Maybe there were fewer golfers out due to the forecast, but I am definitely the weak link in the group I usually play with and, notwithstanding the fact that the two groups in front of us were walking and we were riding, we were still done in just under 4 hours.
